Together with Sir Peter Bottomley MP, Cllr Dan Humphreys and Cllr Neil Parkin, I have written to Cllr Louise Goldsmith, Leader of West Sussex County Council to raise our deep concern about the recent announcement on the disproportionate increase in licence fees for cafes and restaurants using outdoor seating.
We are happy to work with the Council to find a fairer, more proportionate and sustainable proposal. I will keep you posted with any updates.
